Peanut Butter Fudge Brownies

These Peanut Butter Fudge Brownies have a chocolaty brownie with a layer of peanut butter fudge, topped with a rich chocolate ganache! Chocolate and peanut butter lovers, rejoice!

Is there a better combo than chocolate and peanut butter?! I didn’t think so! 🙂 If you’re a fan of chocolate and peanut butter, you’re gonna LOVE these brownies. Although these may look intimidating with the three layers, let me assure you it’s easy. That’s how I roll – I like easy!

2. For the brownie layer: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa,baking powder and salt. In another bowl, combine the oil, eggs and vanilla. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined – Do NOT overmix. Spread into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center tests clean. Cool on a wire rack.

3. For the peanut butter fudge layer: In a medium saucepan, bring the milk and sugar to a boil. Boil for 4 minutes. Add the peanut butter and marshmallow creme and mix well. Quickly pour the mixture into the pan over the cooked brownie layer. Refrigerate for one hour.

4. For the chocolate ganache layer: Heat whipping cream in a small saucepan until hot but not boiling. Remove from the heat. Stir in chocolate until melted. Let stand for about 5 minutes. (The ganache is ready to use when the mixture mounds slightly when dropped from a spoon. It will become thicker as it cools.) Pour the ganache over the fudge layer and tilt the pan so the ganache flows evenly over the top, covering it completely.

They look so decadent Jamie, I love chocolate and peanut butter. I'm addicted to peanut butter cups. This has been the most viewed on Sweet and Savoury Sundays, stop by grab a button and link up again with us this weekend. Laura@Baking in Pyjamas
